Whether the fever after lung surgery is normal or not is judged according to the specific situation, low fever within three days is mostly normal, and high fever over three days is mostly an abnormal manifestation.
1. Low fever within three days after lung surgery usually does not exceed 38℃, and most of them are normal. The cause of fever is mostly related to the absorption of necrotic tissue after surgery, and the symptoms can be relieved spontaneously without the treatment of antipyretic drugs.
2. High fever for more than three days after lung surgery is generally regarded as an abnormal phenomenon when the body temperature reaches 38℃ or above. The cause may be due to the accumulation of secretions in the lungs due to the pain of coughing, improper care of the incision after the operation, or the lowering of the immunity after the operation, resulting in lung infection and fever, and then it is necessary to find out the cause of the disease and treat the symptoms.
Therefore, low fever for a short period of time can be observed and not dealt with for the time being, while fever caused by postoperative infection must be taken seriously, and the cause of the disease should be identified as soon as possible and sensitive antibiotics should be used in a timely and rational manner to control the infection and to promote the recovery of the body to normal.
